Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

We created a new smoothie recipe this morning and thought it was delicious enough to share! We suffer from pretty bad ragweed allergies during this time of the year. So this morning our breakfast routine called for something to help with all the sinus inflammation! We have dubbed it the anti-inflammatory probiotic smoothie. It contains anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric, ceylon cinnamon, and ginger along with vitamin packed pumpkin and bananna. We always add a teaspoon of kraut brine to our smoothies for a morning dose of probiotics. Feel free to add some yogurt to the recipe too if you'd like!

With a move coming up for us, I had a desire to clean out our freezer. I found some cranberries, blackberries I foraged for earlier in the spring, and Louisiana strawberries. We added in these berries with our smoothie usuals, and ended up with a tart, refreshing, tropical tasting smoothie.
